Movies and television have more negative effects than positive effects on the way young people behave.

Now entertainment plays an increasingly important role in our society. Such a fact may mislead impressionable people to generate the idea that movies and television have more positive influences on young people’s behaviors. However, as far as efficiency, health and function are concerned, I hold that movies and television do more harm than good.

First and foremost, the media stated above could decrease efficiency. For one thing, young people are willing to spend a large amount of time watching movies and television as a desire for enjoyment. As a result, they have to finish their tasks in a limited time. Many youths may treat their work carelessly and do their work slowly because they give up completing on time. For another, young people won’t focus on their tasks when they choose to get away from films and channels to carry out their work. Instead, they could recall the characters and plots.

Furthermore, movies and televisions could cause health problems. Take the case of my friend Alex, a typical top student in Fengcheng High School. He was intelligent and knowledgeable. However, he was addicted to films and television. Instead of study, he spent all the time watching movies and television. Finally, he got severe eye problems and some mental illness because of failure to graduate. Therefore, films and channels’ disadvantages outweigh the reverse.

Nevertheless, a voice arises that the media like movies and television could bring happiness and entertainment, which can benefit young people’s behavior. Ironically, the content of the media varies differently. Young people could be influenced and behave badly because dirty words and violent scenes may be involved in films and television. What’s more, there are better ways that have the same function. For example, people could do sports to relax and find happiness.

In a nutshell, I maintain that movies and television have more terrible impacts on how youth acts.
